More than 350 women KCs and judges came together in the Great Hall of the Royal Courts of Justice to mark 75 years since women first became King’s Counsel.


The celebratory event was organised by Mrs Justice McGowan, who took silk in 2001 and is number 120 on the list; Mrs Justice Theis; who took silk in 2003 (number 143); and Mrs Justice Morgan, who became a KC in 2011 (number 245).


Lady chief justice Baroness Carr, who took silk in 2003 and is number 147 in the list of women silks, addressed the gathered KCs and other attendees.


She said: ‘Women are generally well represented in the legal professions although we still see fewer women in the top positions.
